ABOUT THIS SONG This is another song from the play, So...This Is Christmas, written and performed at Santa Lucia Peace School in Templeton, California while I was guest teaching during my last year as a public school classroom teacher. It is a bouncy ballad with verses in A minor to amplify the sad content of a tree who just would not get picked as a Christmas tree by a family. It is a poignant journey of a tree holding true to his belief in self and the knowing that the day will come when the child would come there just for him, and carry him away... It was simply staged, beautifully effective, and gave me a hit song that would surface again in the second act of my Christmas gala at Unity of San Luis Obispo, California, when my daughter, Gabriela, had her stage debut as the little Christmas tree. As yet, it is not a classic. But once you hear it you will want to make a regular song in your Christmas playlist from then on. |

SONG LYRICS: BALLAD OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE This is the story of One little tree Alone upon the hill Unprotected from the wind His life was never still Twisted by the hands of time Looking rather old But the one little tree On the great big hill Had a heart made out of gold Every year at Christmas All would pass him by No one ever noticed The tear there in his eye Though his heart was Breaking He knew there’d come a day When a child would come There just for him And carry him away Oh, wait little tree Just wait for me Was whispered On the wind Don’t ever stop believing I’ll soon be there My friend Then that magic Christmas When hope was in the air All the people came and went And still he’s standing there When out of the mist came One little child With purpose in her eye And the one little tree And the one little child Walked down the Mountainside Oh, wait little tree Just wait for me Was whispered On the wind Don’t ever stop believing I’ll soon be there My friend © 2003.Music for Every Soul.
